    Place the shrimp in a medium bowl and set aside.

    Ingredients
    • 2 Pound shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • Step 3

    In a blender, combine the Thai chiles, garlic, Traeger Chicken Rub, sugar, white vinegar, and olive oil and blend into a coarse paste. Note: If a milder flavor is preferred, reduce the number of Thai chiles to taste.

    When ready to cook, set the Traeger temperature to 450°F and preheat with the lid closed for 15 minutes.
